Trying to sleep in a military camp for months at a time can be rough. Danish researchers are testing a pillow that chirps like a bird to lull soldiers deployed in Kosovo to sleep. The soft, white MusiCure pillow plays nature sounds and acoustic instrument melodies through tiny speakers inside to help soldiers nod off to sleep amidst the anxieties of living in a dangerous situation. The pillow, created nearly 10 years ago, was originally intended for use in psychiatric wards and to help patients recover from surgery. Maj. Helmer T. Hansen, the battalion surgeon at the Danish military clinic in the Kosovo province where the cushions are being tested, says music therapy is just as handy at a military camp, where soldiers can't use sleeping pills because they have to be ready to go into action at any moment. "It's the first time we're using it," he said. "But my advice will be that we have it for a long time."– Beverly Hanly
